Heading to DC for the DNC Winter Meeting


The DNC team heads to Washington D.C. next week for the Winter DNC meeting. While there, we'll also be door knocking with members of the tax team. If you're in the area, get in touch with our tax team about joining in. And if you're not, spread the word about the taxation call campaign happening this week and next! Check your emails shortly for more details on the call campaign. 

In other DNC news, yesterday's webinar with Earl Fowlkes, Chair of the DNC LGBT Caucus, is worth a watch! If you missed the call, organized by the LGBT caucus, check out the video of the call.  

DA is looking forward to hosting Bill Derrough, DNC Treasurer, in Rome on March 20th. Many many thank yous to DA Italy leadership, and especially Neal Huddon-Cossar, for their generosity in setting up a DPCA fundraiser around the visit. Details to come about how you can participate! 

This week’s Tiny Action reminds members to request their ballots. The Comms team also has several new stories up on the site - check out a really useful article about the Hatch Act and what it means for federal employees. And please circulate the Spanish version of the most recent DA gun control statement, translated by the Hispanic caucus

Adrianne George, our long time Volunteer team chair, is stepping down to focus on her DNC work this year. She's run the volunteer team for more than two years and has been a fabulous motivator for all of our teams. Many many thanks to her for her exceptional leadership in this area!
